this one would be complicated to automate [Source]
I want this bill out of my life. But I’m still going to go pay it right now anyway because of this lifestream. Still need to do a lot of work. Haven’t had much of a focused effort the last two or three days.

Need for embedded graphs? [Source]
I want widgets. I want data streamed out. But I’m wondering how much it actually matters. I think making financial management simpler to enter for the first time would be nice. But really we just have such financially paperworked complicated lives. And thus concludes a Saturday…
